Summary from the TLDR newsletter

President Donald Trump signed an executive order outlining NASA's policy objectives for the next three years a couple of hours after a judge formally swore Jared Isaacman as the agency's administrator. The executive order states that the country must pursue a space policy that will extend the reach of human discovery, secure the nation's vital economic and security interests, unleash commercial development, and lay the foundation for a new space age. There are no concrete plans to send humans to Mars in the document. There's also a lack of reference to space science. An overview of the contents of the executive order is available in the article.
